"Upcycling Music" is an exhibition of musical instruments and works of sound art created by the Ladin multi-instrumentalist and music teacher Max Castlunger from old and used materials and objects. Visitors can not only look at the sound objects on display, but also listen to them, touch them and even play them themselves.

Musical instruments of all kinds are presented and offered to try out. These include giant drums made from wine barrels, gongs made from oil drums, hollowed-out tree trunk drums, tuned plastic pipes and playable tables and chairs.
